Energy Audit Agreement

How We Inspect

The Client has requested an Energy Audit to identify systems and components in need of energy efficiency improvement. The inspection will substantially conform to the:Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) Energy Audit Standard if it is named as a comprehensive audit or HERS Rating and will include the following systems: review of insulation levels, test for air leakage levels, review of heating/cooling/water heating systems, review of lighting and appliances, and a basic review of energy use. The evaluation will be based on observations that are primarily visual and non-invasive. The inspection and report are not intended to be technically exhaustive. Essential Inspections LLC. will provide a written report that is a summary of observations and unbiased opinions based on the experience of the inspector. The inspection is not complete until the written report is received. The Inspection Report outlines and defines the areas of the home that were inspected, as well as indicating any items that were not inspected, the reason they were not inspected, and general statements of what is commonly included and excluded during an inspection. The written Inspection Report, together with this agreement, represent the final statement on the condition of the home when inspected and the final statement on what was included and/or excluded in the inspection.
